Philipp Scharrenberg (D): ‘Verwirren ist menschlich’

Cabaret & tender mindfucks

‘Mindfuck’ means confusion with method. And the confusion is there. It haunts the socially deprived media and can be found on the green-washed supermarket shelves. In the age of disinformation, we no longer need anyone to confuse us - we do it ourselves. The main thing is the net.

Time to lead us astray! Philipp Scharrenberg doesn't believe in artificial intelligence - he prefers to make intelligent art. For thinking along. He's a tooth-teeth-feeler, somewhere between childish and enlightened, who is always asking: ‘Why?’ As an obsessive-compulsive neurotic, he knows what makes society tick and which buttons he has to press when there's confusion in his brain.

As linguistically playful as ever, with poems, songs, radio plays and stand-up, he shows how difficult it is to be sure of your own opinion today. Not a ‘them up there’ cabaret, but a ‘us down here’ cabaret, honoured with the German Cabaret Prize 2023. A ‘mindfuck’ - but tender.

Performance dates: Thu 20 and Fri 21 February 2025 at 8.00 pm at the Carambolage in Bolzano.
